A Little Bit About the Workshop

As the days start to grow shorter and greens fade to oranges and reds, the change of seasons will inspire our arrangements of breathtaking beauty, accompanied by photo shoots that will capture the heart of our work.

We will start the day with a fabulous lunch from The Big Tuna and then head right into instruction on the art of floral design. An inspiring array of flowers will be available for you to build your own romantic, garden-style arrangement. You will learn about the mechanics, color combinations, texture and much more. After learning the tips and tricks to making an arrangement, you will create your own romantic-style centerpiece, inspired by the hues of autumn. 

A photographer will be present to capture moments, the group, each participant, and each participant’s arrangement. If you come with sisters, cousins, your mom or your besties, we will be sure to get some group shots of you to last a lifetime! Digital photos will be available online approximately two weeks after the event.

South Gate Design workshops are designed for all levels and flower friends who want to learn new skills or hone in on their existing ones. All you need to bring is an open mind and a grand intention!

This getaway allows you to reconnect with nature, your soul, new and old flower friends, and your creative side. You will leave feeling rejuvenated after taking a break from your daily routine!

Everything is included except transportation to the event. The vessel and blooms will be yours forever; clippers and aprons will be provided. You will go home not only with a beautiful vessel with a gorgeous, lush arrangement but also with the confidence that you can do this again—either at home or in another beautiful venue!
